Added -P/--xmlrpc-no-abort to avoid exiting if XML-RPC ping fails

This is to make automated tests using rteval behave better, where
rteval runs might go for several hours - and the XML-RPC server might
become available during that time.  In addition, rteval will try
several times to send the report as well.
